Love for Sale a script by a Ukrainian teenager who like many dream of living in New York City. However, relationships, broken dreams and lost hopes give way to reality.

In 1794, Catherine II of Russia dispatched all beautiful girls to live in Lugansk to eliminate any computation thus creating generations of unbelievable beauty. Over 90% of these Ukrainian female reside in the mail order capital of the world and part of Ukraine's major export, "Brides for sale". A common misconception about mail order brides is that financial security is a vital part of how love is defined! Despite how much we may wish that "Money Can't Buy Me Love" and "My Love Didn't Cost A Thing". It is the promise of security that Ukrainian woman seek as they make a living being Internet brides as opposed to the foreigners seeking companionship and sex.—Anonymous

Itsi Atkins in association with Ukrainian screenwriter Tetiana Alexandrova reveals a personal and Introspective view of what has become the most rewarding industry for young women in Ukraine - Marriage. These are the same women Paul McCartney praised in the song 'Back in the USSR', for whom he wanted to "leave the west behind" only four decades ago. These same women are now burdened with being dubbed desperate, disreputable gold diggers. The film 'Love For Sale' intends to place into perspective the trials and tribulations encountered by a typical Ukrainian woman, at the same time offering a more accurate outlook and perhaps moving the viewer to understand and empathize with the young ladies that make a living as mail order brides.—Tetiana Alexandrova
